It’s interesting to observe how encryption and network performance monitoring (NPM) have evolved over time. Encrypted passwords came along as did token authentication. But, this goal gets harder and harder as more and more encryption gets introduced and more services move to the cloud. HTTP is the new TCP.

Internet protocol specifications are instructions designed for engineers to build things. Protocol designers take great care to ensure the documents they produce are clear. HTTP/3 is an application protocol that maps HTTP semantics to QUIC, such as defining how HTTP requests and responses are assigned to individual QUIC streams.
